Comments Thread For: Koncz Explains Why Pacquiao Asked For Catch-Weights

[parabellum]

If Pacquiao feels best at 147 then why can't fighters who think that they are better than him beat him at his best weight?
It's not like he is huge at welter weight or he is going to gain a serious weight advantage after the weigh-ins so the catch-weight isn't necessary.

[Boxing's Truth]

Manny is a natural welterweight. It would be too difficult for Manny to drop to 140 to fight Marquez. And why is Marquez wanting Manny to drop to 140, is he trying drain Pac? Marquez is clearly looking for the advantage. I'm glad Manny isn't falling for that bullshhiiitt.

pacman did! on their 2nd negotiation, but PBF goes into vacation....to prison

he agreed to 7 days cutoff and mayweather said no cut off date...

WHAT?! Go back and read LEAD UPPERCUT'S post with the links where Roach and Ariza clearly state that Pacroid is NOT a welterweight. AFTER you read the articles and see the videos, come back and tell us how in the **** "It would be too difficult for Manny to drop to 140 to fight Marquez." ******!

because they want all the advantages over manny. they want manny to go up to 154 to fight someone that is bigger than him, if manny request for a catchweight then he's a pu55y, if manny wont go down in weight to fight then he's a pu55y. nothing is ever goood enough for these guys, they're constantly on the move to pick something about manny to talk about.

exactly, he gave in and agreed to what mayweather requested, then mayweather decided thats not good enough and now he wants 0 day no cut off, random blood test until fight night. what a bunch of BS

They only dicated prices, (Ali, SRR, SRL) that's the only thing they had REAL power over, Manny is taking this too far I used to respect him but, to be honest he is cherry-picking and anyone who claims he is a Top 15 P4P is a pathetic fanboy.

OK...that works both ways for your god.

If Pac feels that he was better than Cotto, why not let Cotto fight at his best weight?
Why not let Marg weight the division limit?

Why ask for Shane at 142?

If you " don't really know " what a true P4P champion means, then you should stop playing with your Manny-doll.

The question was about boxing integrity, and Koncz replied "hard luck cvnts, we make the rules"..... you actually quoted me saying that.

Did you miss the point as well..... twice ?

Your just a f****ing hater boy... Manny has been fighting in and around the WW division for quite sometime now that his optimum effective weight has become 144lbs., he even fought for the light middleweight title weighing only 144lbs. at the weigh in.. The catchweight was a necessity when he was challenging the bigger guys, coz you have to remember that Manny was still considered as a blown up featherweight then when he first climbed to fight Oscar... Now with Marquez, you are accussing a man of losing his integrity for not agreeing in a catchweight that is totally unnecessary in the first place... Why will i say unnecessary, Marquez was 146lbs. at fight night for the lightweight title fight with Katsidis, Manny was 148lbs at fight night for the Margarito fight, that's only a difference of 2lbs.... Yes it sucks not to be the cash cow coz Marquez has no choice but to agree, but Marquez, as great a fighter as he is can always do a Pacquiao, coming in at he's optimum weight of 144lbs even for a light middleweight fight... So even if the fight is set at WW limit, Marquez can go in at he's optimum weight and so is Manny and their fight night weight i bet would land closely similar to each other!!!

Manny Pacquiao is a natural Super-Welterweight he's comfortable with that. because he wants to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner.... MARQUEZ is SCARED.... Marquez is SCARED at Welterweight.. lol
